2019 North Korea–United States Hanoi Summit, Reactions and analysis, Plans for another summit
On June 12, 2019, Trump received a letter from Kim Jong-un which he described as "beautiful". On June 22, an undated photo was also released by the North Korean government of Kim Jong-un reading a letter from Trump; Kim Jong-un described the letter as "excellent" and described Trump as the "supreme leader" of the United States. On June 26, it was announced that talks were underway to hold a third US-North Korean summit. Trump previously tweeted in April 2019 that a third summit “would be good”. Kim Jong-un later denied reports of continued talks with the U.S., and relations with the US State Department remained hostile.

On June 30, 2019, Kim Jong-un met with Trump at the Korean Demilitarized Zone, with Trump being the first sitting US president to set foot on North Korean soil. Kim Jong-un and Trump joined Moon for an unprecedented three-way gathering. Kim Jong-un and Trump agreed to restart negotiations for the Korean denuclearization process.

Days after the summit ended, commercial satellite imagery indicated that reconstruction of the Sohae Satellite Launching Station, which previously appeared to be in the middle of dismantling by North Korea, may have been performed during the summit, and that the site could be operational. A senior U.S. State Department official acknowledged “some level of reassembly” but stopped short of concluding the site was operational. Town remarked: “Given how much has been done at this site, it looks like more than a couple days’ worth of activity ...

It's hard to say if it happened immediately after the summit and they just rushed everything — I guess it's possible — but it's more likely that it started just before.” South Korean National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon said there was recent transport vehicle activity at the Sanumdong ICBM factory. Some analysts believed that the renewed activity at Sohae and Sanumdong was designed to pressure Washington back to the negotiating table, rather than to actually restart the nuclear testing program.

2019 North Macedonian presidential election
Presidential elections were held in North Macedonia on 21 April 2019. Three candidates were on the ballot in the first round; Stevo Pendarovski of the ruling Social Democratic Union of Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova of the nationalist opposition VMRO-DPMNE party, and Blerim Reka, an independent representing the Albanian minority. The first round did not result in an absolute majority for any candidate, but Pendarovski won against Siljanovska-Davkova in the second round on 5 May.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election
Incumbent President Gjorge Ivanov was constitutionally barred from seeking a third term in office, having previously been elected in 2009 and 2014.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Background
The elections were the first in North Macedonia after the Prespa agreement on the naming dispute, signed on 17 June 2018. A referendum was held on 30 September, in which a majority of voters approved the agreement, although turnout was far below the quorum required to validate the result, mainly because of an organized boycott of the Anti-Prespa agreement bloc. The Assembly subsequently approved the change of the country's name to "North Macedonia" on 11 January 2019, and Greece subsequently ratified the agreement and the accession protocol for NATO.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Background
Incumbent President Gjorge Ivanov was a vocal opponent of the name change and refused to sign the laws and amendments on the matter. However, Assembly Speaker Talat Xhaferi claimed that his signature was enough to enforce the change.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Background
The name change had the support of the government coalition formed by the Social Democrats (SDSM) and the ethnic Albanian Democratic Union for Integration. The nationalist VMRO-DPMNE coalition led by Hristijan Mickoski was in favor of NATO integration but against the name change, although the change was approved in the Assembly with at least four VMRO-DPMNE MPs voting in favour.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Background
After her nomination, VMRO-DPMNE candidate Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova had promised to initiate a second referendum and restore the old name to the country if she won.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Electoral system
The President of North Macedonia is elected using a modified two-round system; a candidate can only be elected in the first round of voting if they receive the equivalent of over 50% of the vote from all registered voters. In the second round, voter turnout must be at least 40% for the result to be deemed valid. Before 2009, the constitution required turnout in the second round to be 50% to validate the result. However, the XXXI amendment approved on 9 January 2009 lowered the threshold to 40%, as the then-government feared the trend of reducing turnouts would lead to presidential elections being frequently invalidated. In the 2009 presidential elections, second round turnout was just 42.6%.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Electoral system
The constitution mandates that the President must be over 40 years of age and have lived in the country for ten of the last fifteen years.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Opinion polls
Before and between the voting rounds, several opinion polls were conducted. The percentages of the polls below are related to only those voters who declared that they would vote for a certain candidate.


2019 North Macedonian presidential election, Results
To win in the first round, a candidate would have had to receive at least 904,066 votes, equivalent to 50% of the number of registered voters.


2019 North Maluku earthquake
The 2019 North Maluku earthquake, a shallow 7.2 magnitude earthquake, struck the island of Halmahera, North Maluku, Indonesia on 14 July 2019 at 18:10 local time with its epicentre located at South Halmahera. It struck at a shallow depth of 10 km (6.2 mi) near Labuha, a small port town located in Bacan Island. The earthquake produced a non-destructive 20 cm tsunami, which stuck Labuha just minutes after the shaking started. 14 people were killed by the earthquake while 129 people were injured, and more than 50,000 people were displaced. The earthquake inflicted a total damage of Rp 238 billion (US$16 million).


2019 North Maluku earthquake, Tectonic setting
Halmahera lies within a zone of complex tectonics caused by the interaction between the Pacific, Australian, Sunda and Philippine Sea Plates. The area is further subdivided into microplates, such as the Molucca Sea Plate and the Bird's Head Plate. The Sorong Fault Zone, is a major strike-slip fault that extends from the Bird's Head peninsula in the east to Sulawesi in the west. Some of the faults that form part of this zone pass through southern Halmahera and the neighbouring Bacan Islands.


2019 North Maluku earthquake, Earthquake
The earthquake struck on Sunday afternoon, at 18:10 local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. The Indonesian Meteorological, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency stated that the earthquake had a strike-slip mechanism, meaning that the motion of the rupture was horizontal rather than vertical. The epicentre is located 63 km off-shore Labuha, a small port town in Bacan Island, whereas the USGS gave an epicenter onshore southern Halmahera. The largest peak acceleration was recorded in Labuha seismological station.


2019 North Maluku earthquake, Earthquake, Intensity
Officials stated that 18 accelerograph in Indonesia recorded the shaking, with the furthest located in Sidrap, South Sulawesi, approximately 980 kilometers from the epicentre. Strong shaking were widely reported near the epicentre, with the strongest reportedly felt in Central Bitung District, South Bitung and North Bitung District. The thick and soft sediment soil around the epicentre supposedly amplified the shaking, causing a more severe and stronger shaking. The earthquake could be felt as far away as Gorontalo in Sulawesi and Sorong in West Papua. The earthquake could also be felt in Ambon, the provincial capital of Maluku.


2019 North Maluku earthquake, Earthquake, Tsunami
Tsunami warnings were not issued by the Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency for the surrounding areas. However, a 20-cm (non-destructive) tsunami was observed by tide gauge in South Halmahera.


2019 North Maluku earthquake, Casualties
The strong shaking caused fear of tsunami among residents in North Maluku, even though the Indonesian geological agency stated that no tsunami threat was caused by the earthquake. In Ternate, hundreds of people evacuated to higher grounds due to fear of tsunami. Some evacuated to Ternate's Regional Disaster Management Board. In Labuha, thousands of residents who lived near the coastline evacuated to higher grounds. Some residents elected to evacuate to the mayor's house. Residents from at least 73 villages and 11 districts were displaced by the earthquake.

2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill
The oil spill in northeastern Brazil is an ongoing spill of crude oil that has affected Brazilian jurisdictional waters and over 2,250 km (1,400 mi) of coastline in northeastern Brazil. The spill was first reported on 30 August 2019. The origin of the oil spill is unconfirmed but stated to not be Brazilian. By the end of October 2019, over 1,000 tonnes had been cleaned up; the spill had contaminated portions of all nine states of Brazil's Northeast Region.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill
It is the worst oil spill in Brazilian history and the largest environmental disaster ever recorded on the Brazilian coast or any tropical coastal region worldwide.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Origin
With circumstances still under investigation, the first reports of the spill were made on 2 September 2019.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Origin
The amount of oil currently affecting Brazil from the spill has been described as "thousands of barrels". The origin of the oil spill, of a type not produced in Brazil, is still unconfirmed but a  Greek-flagged ship, the NM Bouboulina, belonging to Delta Tankers Ltd is suspected. Investigations by the Brazilian Navy and Petrobras found chemical links with Venezuelan oil, but that does not necessarily mean Venezuela is responsible.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Origin
The Venezuelan government denied responsibility for the disaster and said that their country's only oil company, the state-run PDVSA, had not received any reports from clients or subsidiaries about any oil spills near Brazil. The chemical tests also determined that the oil was all from one source. Several barrels have washed up on beaches. Prior to testing, the Navy had asked 30 tankers from ten different countries that passed by the Brazilian coast if they had spilled any oil.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Origin
The Brazilian government has been unable to map the oil slicks. The oil is floating beneath the surface of the ocean and thus difficult to trace and predict; this also means that floating oil barriers had little to no effect.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Spread and clean-up
As of 23 October, contamination had reached more than 200 localities from the nine states of Northeast Brazil. More than 1,000 tonnes of oil have already been collected from beaches along the 2,250 km (1,400 mi) of coastline affected.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Spread and clean-up
According to the Ministry of Defense, about 5,500 Navy, Army and Air Force personnel have been involved with cleaning the beaches of the Northeast, as have staff from the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama), the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio), and the National Secretariat of Protection and Civil Defense; thousands of volunteers have been working at the beaches, too.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Spread and clean-up
Within the state of Bahia a civilian group called Coast Guardians was started with volunteers to clean up the coast, gaining popularity online and crowdfunding money for protective clothing. The group has organized 20 different beach teams. Staff from the local environment agency and some Naval officers helped two beach teams. Civilians in various parts of the region have also built nets to place between the ocean and its tributaries to prevent contamination of the country's rivers.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Impact
On 21 October, a team of oceanographers, chemists, and state officials visited the Todos os Santos Bay in Salvador, Bahia, to assess the impact of the oil's movement along the coast. At this point, the spill had left a toxic trail for thousands of miles and begun degrading mangroves and corals; this contamination is hard to clean and will remain in the environment for years.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Impact
In addition to the risk to the ecosystem, there is the possibility for people to come into direct contact with contaminants that remain in the environment. Harmful levels of contact could happen just from walking on a beach where oil has been in the sea, involuntarily touching oil residue or inhaling the gases released. There is substantial risk for Brazil's mangroves, corals, and marine life as a whole, which will take decades to mitigate, and to humans, as the chemicals can also cause irritation and allergic reactions, especially on the skin, eyes, and mouth. Birds have also been oiled and remain at risk, including migratory species.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Impact
To alert the population, the Rio Grande do Norte Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment (Idema), including the TAMAR project, developed educational materials showing procedures that should be followed in case of contact with oil for both humans and animals. The Tamar Project also reported that while adult turtles were being killed, the oil slicks at beaches also prevented the newly hatching baby turtles from reaching the sea, counting 800 rescued babies.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Impact
The oil spill also hit some of the most frequented tourist beaches in the area, which received safety warnings from the tourism and fishing sectors by the end of October.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Responses and protests
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been seen to respond passively to the disaster, speaking publicly only to pass blame; he first reported Venezuela as the origin, then later asserted that environment campaigners caused the spill in order to stop the government signing more oil deals. He has also been criticized for not visiting the affected areas, and for passing the disaster management to the wider government, with the Vice President making relevant announcements.


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Responses and protests
The Brazilian senate environment committee has criticized the executive for not declaring a climate emergency; in April 2019, Bolsonaro had also closed two committees that were part of the national contingency plans for dealing with oil spills. In late October, Bolsonaro responded to a statement by Environment Minister Ricardo Salles by blaming Greenpeace for the spill, calling it a "terrorist act".


2019 Northeast Brazil oil spill, Responses and protests
On 22 October 2019, a group of fishermen protested in front of Ibama headquarters in Salvador. Football teams in Brazil found creative ways to protest government inaction regarding the oil spill: in one match, one team wore custom shirts with black patches over their team design, while the other wore black gloves.

At approximately 3:20 PM PST, Curtis Broughton, a mechanic, along with his wife Sandra, had stopped to check on the couple. Broughton explained, "They seemed like they kind of had it under control. It was mechanical issues with the van. They were having a picnic waiting for the van to unflood, I guess, and try to start it again". Broughton was assured that the couple knew what they were doing, and saw them "happy" and "smiling" before leaving them shortly after. At approximately 7 AM on July 15, the bodies of Fowler and Deese were discovered by Trevor Pierre, a highway worker.

These were the first Northern Ireland elections at which people have been able to register to vote online.


2019 Northern Ireland local elections, Background
The Northern Ireland Assembly had been suspended since 2017 with the failure of powersharing between the DUP and Sinn Féin. However, in March 2019, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Karen Bradley stated that, after the local elections, the government wished to revive Assembly talks. At the 2017 United Kingdom general election, no party won an overall majority in the UK Parliament, so the DUP agreed a deal to support a minority Conservative government. UK politics was dominated by Brexit, which was due to take place before the local elections, but has been thrice delayed, now until possibly 31 January 2020.


2019 Northern Ireland local elections, Background
All the parties with elected councillors from the last elections are running again, including the major parties of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), Sinn Féin, Ulster Unionist Party (UUP), Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and Alliance Party of Northern Ireland. The SDLP and Fianna Fáil held talks about running a joint campaign for the May 2019 local elections, with the possibility of the SDLP merging into Fianna Fáil. There was division within the membership of the SDLP as to what form of relationship to have between the two parties. The two parties announced a partnership agreement in January 2019 rather than a full merger. In February 2019, both party leaders criticised the DUP and Sinn Féin over the continuing deadlock over power sharing in the Assembly.
